If it were, there’d be a reason to fight. Instead, what we have is a passive-aggressive nanny state.
We lost the war on communism. The leftists knew it would take a full generation and during that time they infiltrated every institution we have. Like a virus, using their tool of cognitive dissonance they were slowly shifting the foundations the country was built on. Most of us never noticed, those who could see the future were ridiculed and labelled paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Now the destabilization period is near completion —the values are nearly identical to the value system taught in the former USSR. The left knew destabilization led to the next stage-revolution. We are nearly there.

OUTSTANDING informative/educational article. Thanks very much for posting. HOORAY Ray Peach! The architecture for converting (Levin’s) “soft tyranny” to Obama’s “fundamental [radical] transformation” is certainly under construction and rapidly moving forward.
SOLUTION: It’s easy now...wake up and vote. Build on 2010. GET PREPARED/BE PREPARED.
DEFUND socialist/totalitiarian collectives, foreign and domestic.
DISMANTLE when necessary.

Show them photos of the bodies splattered on the ground from the 9-11 jumpers.
Then show them a typical pickup truck.
Ask how many more people were killed by the one, than the other...

I made (and have) bumper stickers on my vehicles that have a picture of a 30-30 rifle and the statement “The Second Amendment-—the only protection for the First Amendment.”
I don’t know that I’d go that far. We are, however, being run by a total dic.

EXCERTS:
CONGRESS TO FUND MASSIVE EXPANSION OF TSA CHECKPOINTS.
Fears over burgeoning police state increase after passage of NDAA
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, December 23, 2011
"Congress is set to give the green light on funding for a massive expansion of TSA checkpoints, with the federal agency already responsible for over 9,000 such checkpoints in the last year amidst increased fears America is turning into a police state following the passage of the ‘indefinite detention’ bill.
"The increase in funding has nothing to do with the TSA’s role in airports – this is about creating 12 more VIPR teams to add the federal agency’s 25 units that are already scattered across the country and responsible for manning checkpoints on highways, in bus and train terminals, at sports events and even high school prom nights.
"The TSA’s 25 'viper' teams — for Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response — have run more than 9,300 unannounced checkpoints and other search operations in the last year. Department of Homeland Security officials have asked Congress for funding to add 12 more teams next year,” reports the L.A. Times.
"The demand for $24 million in extra funding is in addition to the $110 million spent in fiscal year 2011. The figures are completely independent from the federal agency’s role inside the nation’s airports, which costs taxpayers $5 billion a year.
If the Republicans in the House vote for this, they had better be looking over their shoulders come next year as they may just find themselves "challenged!"
If we are not one great big prison yet, it is not for lack of structure. The thing is built. There are enough laws to make America a maximum security prison. There are security features: cards, surveillance, databases, Social Security numbers, licenses, swat teams, TSA, Homeland Security, dependency programs including welfare and public education, and much more.
It is all there. Enough law to trap, imprison, tyrannize, oppress, crush all of us. All it lacks is the person or persons willing to take control openly.
And that is inevitable. Why? Because it's there and because every one of us has contributed to it. We participate in the programs, support them with our tax dollars. It is almost impossible to find a single adult in America who is neither paying taxes nor partaking of taxpayer-funded programs. Everyone is in the game and everyone is getting a little loot out of it. Some of us allow government teachers to mold our children's minds. Some allow TSA agents to grope them. Most of us contribute to the salaries of those government agents. And why do we do that? Because we don't want to be locked up individually.
For lack of courage to resist, we are already in the prison built around us. The current gang in power sees no need to spring the trap shut today.
Another gang will come. It always does.
Either that or they rapidly lose interest in anything other than power once they have seized it.
"To hide this, socialists say that things would have worked, if only the elite had more power, money, or time."
...and use this as a tactic to seize more power.
"Failure is always someone else’s fault."
The usual ploy of the Left. These people cannot be truthful; if they were, they would never be able to achieve their goal: power over everyone else.
And the fundamental flaw of the theories of Karl Marx is that they require a brutal, iron-fisted dictatorship for their establishment and implementation, and the dictator behaves like any other brutal, iron-fisted dictator--as is written in blood on every page of history.
Yet millions of morons continue to ignore the obvious.
P.T. Barnum said it even better than George Orwell did.
The article does not mention that this 2009, the Rand Corporation developed a report was sponsored by the US Army. From the RAND website selling the report to the public.
The research described in this report was sponsored by the United States Army and conducted by the RAND Arroyo Center.
Just what this country needs; a goon squad ready and willing to do Dear Leader’s bidding.
See if you can do it with a video camera going...

It is important to note the little known historical rules for government.
1) Government must eventually give the people what they want, no matter what they want. A good example of this is China, that regularly, at about 200 year intervals, would be invaded and conquered. But a hundred years after that, the invaders “would be Chinese, and do things the Chinese way”, having given up on their former culture.
2) A ratio determines whether a government or political system will survive or fail. This is the ratio of what the government promises vs. what it delivers. No matter how much it promises, if it delivers on those promises, it will likely survive. But if it does not deliver on its promises, it will likely fail.
The first axiom to this rule is that it does not matter as much *what* government promises, than that it delivers.
The second axiom is that political disagreement is more important to this than is agreement. Disagreement forces promise fulfillment, but if both sides agree to not deliver on promises, it jeopardizes the entire political system.
3) Democracy is the most successful political system in the world *not* because it offers freedom and liberty, which are admirable side effects, important to its proper function, but because democracy offers *efficiency*. And this *efficiency* can be seen by everyone from uneducated rural peasants, to royals.
This *efficiency* is best seen, however, at lower levels of function. At higher levels, the value of representational republicanism comes in to play, to maintain efficiency through managerial specialization.
4) Republican democracy has many enemies, however, within and without, and they often work together. To start with, both barbarism and criminal mobs are dependent on inefficiency, poverty and ignorance to maintain their power; and both realize what they want is thwarted by honesty, prosperity, and education.
Its second group of enemies are royalists and elitists, both of whom crave not just to be elevated above most others, but also that those others be diminished and deprived of what they want, to further enlarge the gap. Likewise, they strongly feel that such superiority and inferiority are hereditary. So their descent are also destined for elitism, and everyone else’s descent condemned to poverty and deprivation.
It should be noted that such people are so neurotic that they imagine their elitism to be a burden they are shouldering, in *support* of the “happy, carefree” lives of everyone else, those they think of as peasants or slaves.
The third threat to republican-democracy can best be described by the large number of people who are individually criminal or mentally ill. Anti-social people. The criminal create a terrible financial burden, and the mentally ill strive to force their delusions on society through manipulation of the law.
It is not the extreme cases of mental illness that are as problematic as those who are near normal, who can make persuasive arguments as to why society should embrace their abnormal worldview.
Thank you for posting this. It was a long ready but well worth it. Today’s politicians needs to realize that the best way to fix America is by the feds stepping back and leaving us the hell alone. Business can fix the economy. Abolish the DOE and let the states run education. If only I could be dictator for two years (having a dictator is unconstitutional too) I would slash the feds back to the original intent of the founders.
Once FedGov™ conquered the state and killed the republic, the only thing left protecting the individual was the BILL OF Rights. That has been slowly dismantled since Wilson, the job is nearly complete. It's that nasty second amendment, it sure is a problem for the statist.....

Sic semper tyrannis.
That is exactly right, all of this has been going back and forth many years for instance the prohibition from 1919 to 1933, although other excuses were used it was only for the purpose of the Government to start war with the people, The Waco Texas massacre being an other example.
One step up toward the freedom that this country of the free Declared in the Declaration of independence and the Constitution and two steps back toward a socialist Government dictatorship.
Pinging the Agenda 21 list for an interesting article and thread.
Ray Peach, a veteran, traces his observations of how the Communist Agenda has been infiltrated into our society’s fabric. Thread discussion is very worthwhile, imho as well.
If you want to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:
